Harper probably can’t go far without seeing his name somewhere. The 23-year-old former first-overall pick of the 2010 MLB Draft hit a league-high 42 home runs last season and drawing 124 walks while posting a batting line of .330/.460/.649 (average/on-base/slugging).

This year he’s picked up right where he left off last season with nine home runs, 23 RBIs—both are MLB-bests—and a batting line of .323/.405/.855. The major difference is that the Nationals have a 14–4 record through Sunday. Last year the team was a disappointing 83–79.
